The Monday Tilley Watch takes a glancing look at the art and artists of the latest issue of The New Yorker
The Cartoonists and Cartoons
Sixteen cartoons, sixteen cartoonists. Two duos, that we know of (the Spill counts duos as one cartoonist). No newbies. The longest active contributing cartoonist in the issue is this cartoonist (I began contributing in 1977).

This week’s cartoon caption contest (Felipe Galindo, aka Feggo, provides the drawing for the new contest).
The Rea Irvin Talk Watch
Way back in the Spring of 2017, I was surprised….no wait, bothered and bewildered (but not bewitched) to see that the above Rea Irvin long-running (92 years!) Talk design had been replaced by a redrawn version by a contemporary illustrator. The Spill continues to hope that Mr. Irvin’s work returns (it could easily be restored with a click on someone’s computer).
